Built-in Anti Leg Rotation is now a feature of the whole carbon fiber range. Mountaineer tripods have been further improved with features and details that increase performance, versatility and quality. Attachment: 1/4-Inch and 3/8-Inch screws; rapid center column; closed length: 25.59 in.; leg angles: 24°. 60°; 3 leg sections; load capacity: 26.46 lbs.; material: carbon fiber 6X; maximum height: 63.39 in.; maximum height (with center column down): 54.33 in.; minimum height: 12.99 in.; series: 2; weight: 3.15 lbs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, the right tripod!, April 26, 2009
I've been looking for a light, strong tripod to take out on hikes for nature photography. I had an older Gitzo that was the next level up (3-series?), but at nearly 5 pounds it was just too heavy. The 2531 is a light but feels very solid. I think the 3 leg section tripod is definitely the way to go for the 25XX series, as 4 sections I'm sure would not feel as stable. I used it with a 5DII and 300 2.8 lens this morning, and while stretching the specified limit on this model, it performed fine. The leg locks are much easier to use than my older model. Be careful with the tripod feet, as I lost a couple on my first outing as they are known to get loose easily. I think a accidentally loosened them while thinking I was working a leg lock, but Gitzo customer service sent replacment feet no questions asked.

Yes, its expensive, but I was happy to pay it for just the right tripod.
